distinction attaches to dresses of white
wool trimmed with metal braid-gilt,
silver or bronze; next in position being
white or pale woods set off by velvet,
which is sometimes SO placed as to i'm
itate the braid trimmings. COmbina-
tions of white wool and India silk are
also another charming thought; men-
ton of the latter fabric bringing up
lovely diversity of pattern. On deli
cate surfaces the choicest flowers are
portrayed, but even here the irrepres-
sible stripes intrude themselves. Bright
red India silks are trimmed by cream
lace, and with summer silks Of all kinds
lace is by far the most fashionable COM
bination, and beside edging draperies
is arranged in double jabOts down the
front of skirts or in similar side panels,
while in the center, ribbon or velvet
bows afford effective finish. The vari-
Gus checked and plaided silks are a
strong element in dress. In.
TRAVELLING DRESSES
the plain tailor finished have the first
position, but many are being made OF
thin checked or plaided wool with ier-
sey to match. More dressy wool cos
tunes are solid color trimmed with
metal braid, and handsome contrasts
between the braid and fabric are
brought about, as where heliOtrope,
blue or green are garnitured by silver
etc. Cool morning dresses are made oi
linen. which like everything else has
been affected by the mania for checks
and plaids. Linen ginghams therefore
are specially stylish, sometimes com
bined with plain gingham. Liner
